If the Jays want to go the cheaper route of filling the current roster, why not do the following

Lawrie --> 2B
Bautista --> 3B
Gose --> CF
Rasmus --> RF

Gose will provide enough value defensively to be playable in the outfield, even if his bat is just okay.

That way they can focus their attention solely on getting a decent mid rotation starter. Personally, I'd go out and sign Ubaldo Jimenez and call it a day.

They have already removed one black hole from the lineup, and if they go with the alignment above, they could remove another. That alone should make the jays about 7 or 8 wins better. Add a starter like Ubaldo and that should add another 3 or 4 and you're now starting to be in the conversation of possibly being a playoff team.
